âHah! This Oatley guy is really full of himself! In the end, it turns out heâs just a nobody!â
âHe actually thought that Ms. Hattie Zelinsky would meet him personally! It turns out it was all just his
delusions!â
âWhat a lunatic! Maybe heâs schizophrenic?â
Jaxton felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him as those mocking criticisms wormed
into his ears.
Milani was also feeling increasingly panicked as she shook his arm, saying, âMr. Oatley, it seems like
Ms. Zelinsky really didnât get out of the car for you!â
âShut up!â
Jaxton became infuriated and shoved her away before running toward Hattie.
âMs. Zelinsky! Iâm Jaxton Oatley! Iâm a good friend of Mr. Magnus. Iâm the one who requested to see
you! Iâm here!â
Jaxton shouted in agitation. He was so desperate to get to her and redeem himself that he even
attempted to trespass into the blockade surrounding Hattie. However, he didnât get very far before he
was promptly stopped by her bodyguards.
Although Hattie heard the shouting, she showed no intention of stopping. Instead, she continued
walking toward the hotel entrance with Dominique by her side.
âHey! Hey! Iâm Jaxton! Iâm here!â
Jaxton continued to scream at the top of his lungs. Unfortunately, his efforts were all in vain as he was
swiftly subdued by Hattieâs bodyguards. They forced him to the ground while one of them stood at the
side, pointed at his face, and reprimanded harshly, âStop trying to flatter yourself. Ms. Zelinsky doesnât
have time to deal with the likes of you! If you cause any more trouble, donât blame us for sending you
packing!â
Damn it!
Jaxton Oatley was completely dumbfounded.
Hattie had snubbed him!
He was Magnusâ good buddy!
To make matters worse, he had a massive crowd surrounding him. They were all pointing and
snickering at him.
Jaxton wasnât just humiliated right now. Rather, he was so embarrassed that he wanted the ground to
swallow him whole!
âDamn it, this ungrateful woman! Women are all the same! Sheâs really pissed me off!â Jaxton cursed
as he pushed through the crowd and stomped off, utterly disheveled.
Hattie didnât pay him any attention from beginning to end. She merely nodded slightly to Julian, the host
of the party, before heading straight into the hotel after arriving at the entrance.
âWould you look at that? The Zelinsky familyâs women are truly a different class of arrogant!â
Julian couldnât help but chuckle.
Even he, Mr. Julian of the Onza Summerton family, was insignificant in her eyes. She probably wouldnât
even bother greeting him if he wasnât the host of tonightâs cocktail party.
He couldnât help but wonder just who the big shot in the hotel was. They had to be extraordinary to be
capable of making this gorgeous lady from Zovince meet them personally!
Inside the hotel, Emmanuel couldnât get in touch with Roselynn on his phone and was about to leave.
As he walked downstairs and onto the corridor to the lobby, he suddenly saw a large group of people
coming toward him.
The scene was extremely grandiose!
A total of six bodyguards took the lead. He tilted his head to look at the back and could only blink at the
sight before him dumbly.
Well, forgive him for not being able to count all of those heads for a moment.
The other party was making such a huge fuss that Emmanuel could only stand aside and prepare to
make way for them.
Unexpectedly, the bodyguards in front suddenly dispersed. As a result, he instantly caught sight of that
female officer earlier.
This time, she was following behind a woman. Her previously proud demeanor had changed into one of
humble servitude, indicating that the woman walking before her should be her superior.
âEmmanuel Lowe. Itâs a pleasure to meet you!â
The woman, who was surrounded by her subordinates, took the initiative to greet Emmanuel with a
slight smile.
Emmanuel was slightly stunned as he instinctively scrutinized this woman.
She was beautiful! Truthfully, she was beautiful enough to take oneâs breath away.
Apart from Mackenzie, he had never seen a second woman who could be compared with his wife in
terms of looks.
Her beautiful eyes were a boundless blue, shining with a gem-like radiance. There was a hint of
wisdom beyond her age staining her brows, making her all the more stunning. Her delicate facial
features were naturally exquisite, and her lips were like rose petals.
She was dressed simply but still exuded an undeniable elegance. Although she was only wearing a
purple Chanel dress with a snow-white fur shawl, she was akin to a peony. In fact, she would be the
peony that had completely overshadowed all her compatriots.
He had to admit, she was wholly different from Magnus!
If Ashton hadnât mentioned this woman to Emmanuel earlier, he wouldnât have been able to connect
her with Magnus based solely on her appearance.
Since they had come face to face, Emmanuel had no choice but to return the courtesy.
âCan we talk? I have a feeling it would be beneficial for you,â Hattie said.
She exuded a cool temperament similar to Mackenzie. Nevertheless, she possessed about two
degrees less iciness as it was replaced with two degrees of grace.
âWe can talk, but why do you have so many people?â
Emmanuel gestured to the bodyguards beside her, slightly surprised.
âThe rest of you, stand down. Dominique, youâll be coming along while I have a chat with Emmanuel,â
Hattie ordered.
Dominique immediately interjected with concern, âMiss, are you sure you want to talk to him alone? Iâm
worried-â
